That’s literally what re-peaking means?

Mariah back ahead of Wham! on Apple, and the gap was only 6k on Spotify today too

That’s not how the rules work tho I don’t think. I might be wrong but I think Another Love went to ACR over Christmas last year and got a reset again after Christmas (although in fairness that one did repeak)

I Remember Everything was up 60k streams on Spotify compared to last week, so I’d say it’s probably increased

Only new stuff on Apple so far is an EP by Drake that he's tagged onto the end of For All the Dogs, he's at: #26 Red Button (This one mentions Taylor Swift in the lyrics apparently) #32 Stories About My Brother #37 The Shoe Fits #39 Evil Ways (feat. J. Cole) #45 You Broke My Heart #61 Wick Man

Ngl I don’t really see the point in nominating stuff like LadBaby, sure it’s bad, but it’s a charity song, they’re all bad and at the end of the day it’s not a real song just a ploy for charity, seems out of place in comparison to hits from actual artists which are terrible

Mariah is up to #28 on Apple, one spot above Wham! Might be to do with the BBMA announcement regarding her performing All I Want for Christmas is You?

Is there any need to give Chris Brown a hit?

I’d love Fairytale of New York to go to #1, but I just don’t see how it happens tbh. The streaming gap is absolutely massive between that and Wham!/Mariah these days. Would require an absolutely unprecedented download campaign imo

Who tf is Mazza_l20?

The other Children sample I think you mean is Bou - Closer (feat. Slay)

New Dua is pretty good imo, not necessarily an obvious number one under all circumstances, but with low overall sales atm and the Physicals it’s likely to have, I’d say it should make it next week.

White Christmas bug still hasn’t been fixed then

White Christmas back on Spotify as the third highest Christmas song and still no sign of Brenda Lee, so I assume Spotify is still glitching in that regard

On Apple: #87 Wham! - Last Christmas #88 Mariah Carey - All I Want for Christmas is You Wham! are up 23 places in the last 24 hours with Mariah down 6. So this might be due to some combining/uncombining of different versions potentially?

Yes that is a rule. I think Dua Lipa’s label did it in 2020 by excluding Physical to allow Hallucinate to chart

Yes it is a fantastic hold for both Mariah and Wham! Mariah went #41 -> #51 Wham! went #54 -> #70 Last year

You missed FONY at #191

NINETEEN? Good lord

Mr. Brightside stays top 50 too and keeps its year-long (so far) run going. Obviously Christmas songs will have something to say about that, will see if it can get to December before dropping out

Nope, she’ll appear on the 1st November Pretty sure she was in the top 50 last year, probably won’t be this year due to Taylor but I’d estimate around #65

On Twitter, I’ve seen a lot of people not happy with TV of Style, so I expect “$l*t!” will hold up better throughout the week

Some original 1989 songs survived relatively well for now: #50 Style #69 Blank Space #123 Shake It Off Also, Mr. Brightside stays top 50, but if Taylor has longevity it could be under threat from halloween songs in the coming days

Gonna optimistically predict that Taylor will have the whole top 10 today

Apple Music Halloween #86 Michael Jackson - Thriller #117 Ray Parker Jr. - Ghostbusters #158 The Cranberries - Zombie #188 Katy Perry - Roar (??) (Not even sure if this is Halloween related, I guess the song title kind of could be)
